Default Strange cravings for meat

As Chris wrote, creatine monohydrate occurs naturally in red meat. By
eating enough red meat, one can very easily (if not economically or
with dietary variety) saturate one's muscles with creatine just as one
can by using supplemental creatine. There's no magic there.


One would need to eat a LOT of meat to reach creatine
saturation. Preferably raw meat.

On the other hand creatine is synthesized internally and although
vegetarians show lower levels of it, it doesn't result in any sort of
deficiency, as long as the diet is not deficient in an essential
amino acid methionine.
